Food was totally below expectations. We ordered well-praised in reviews mushroom soup and chcken pate and some salads of the day specials. Soup tasteless, pate bitter, salads full of vinegar. Wine was good though, a wine list better than expected in Malaysia beyond hotels. Summary: ok for drinks but not food.

Been reading reviews on this restaurant and tried for the very first time last weekend. Ordered starter and main course. The starter came pretty fast but for the main course, we waited more than 40mins!!!! Taste wise, nothing great about the food and the service was pretty slow... :( don't think I'll pay another visit to this restaurant

I was quite excited about our night out at this place after reading reviews online. After a pretty dodgy taxi ride to its "hidden" location it did look quaint and inviting. It was a good sign that the place was full but unfortunately that meant we had the left over tables on the front verandah, which we shared with the... More

Nice environement and friendly peoples. Quite a selection of mid class wine, perfect if you are a regular wine drinker. House wine is actually very good, with quite a few selection of red. Talk to the people and they make good recommendation. Definitely a place I will visit again.

Good service, average selection of food but not easy to find. Food is good. Cost is reasonable. No smoking a plus.

I spent an evening last month with my girl friend there. They have a great list of wine selection. I would say it is completed almost. The service and environment was good as expected. We did not have a proper meal but some light course nad finger food. The chef has some unique preference and skill for fine dining. The... More

... what can I say in reply of the review below? ... the wine list is too short because the choice of about 100 wines is not enough for the reviewer ?! We also have amongst other things champagne, sparkling wines, cognac, armagnac, sherry, port, cocktails ... . Still not enough? Unless you go to a wine distributor you wont... More

All was OK, but it was an attempt to recreate the feel of an English wine bar in the middle of Penang. If you are in the neighborhood stop by it is OK but don't go out of you way. Save you money for Mayfair. Service very acceptable.
